Doctoral Exams are open to the public and are advertised on our website. However, locations of online defences (ie Zoom links) are not published. You can provide that link to your invited guests.
You are welcome to invite friends and family to attend an in-person or hybrid exam. Normally, in-person exams have in-person audiences only.
For Zoom exams, you can have people physically in the room with you, or they can join via Zoom, either remotely or in groups. It is helpful for the Doc Exams team to know if you are expecting an audience so that we can provide Zoom support for the Exam Chair.
